Not a Bad Afternoon’s Work

The weather was much better on Saturday with plenty of sunshine and the gale force wind of yesterday had abated. It was off to the plot in the afternoon to see just what we had to harvest after a week away although things had already got off to a good start as we picked a couple of peaches “Avalon Pride” from our tree in the garden.

 

Although our tree set lots of fruit many have turned mouldy on the tree before ripening but we still have a few ripe fruits which are now perfect for eating.

 

On the plot we spent the afternoon harvesting and managed quite a haul. Nothing had really suffered from any attention over the last week and we had lots of vegetables and fruit to harvest. The tomatoes in the plot greenhouse had ripened well unlike those in our home greenhouse which think green is the new in tomato colour. We managed just over two punnets of strawberries “Flamenco” especially welcome at this late stage in the season along with lots of raspberries, blackberries and apples.
